What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God. - Eleanor Powell
These are the lyrics to the song Bhajo Naam, a song I heard a Hindi/Christian Rock band play at the Urbana ‘09 conference I got back from not more than a few hours ago. This song was sung on the second last day we were there during the evening session. I fell in love with the song instantly drawn into the gospel behind the text which translates to “sing his name, chant his name, the beautiful name, Jesus’s name.” Here are the lyrics to this beautiful song both in Hindi and in English:
Bhajo naam, japo naam, pyaara naam
Yeshu naam
Chahe subaha ho yaa shaam
Chahe subaha ho yaa shaam
Yeshu naam re
Sab bhakti karo mil gaao
Yeshu naam re
Bhakt bina bhakti adhuri, Khrist sharan tujhe aanaa hai
Chaar de apani shakti bal, Khrist mein moha lagaanaa hai
Jeewan arpan kardo Prabhu mein, Prabhu ki aashish paanaa hai
Jay jay kaar karo mil saare, dhanya manaana hai
Paap ki raaha ko chorana hai; Swarg ki manzil paanaa hai
Is duniyaa mein chain nahin, Swargiya Pitaa ko jaanaa hai
Shanti mukti kaa maarg wahi hai, usme moha lagaana hai
Sacha Saathi Prabhu hamaara, use apanaana hai
Sing His name, chant His name
The beautiful name, Jesus’ name
Morning and evening, together
All bring their devotion, singing, Jesus’ name
How can you worship, oh my soul
Unless you have surrendered?
You have come to Jesus’ shelter
Cast off your own strength and power
Fall in love with Christ
Give your life to Him and He will bless you
Praise Him all together
Celebrating with blessings
Now I leave the path of darkness
My goal is Heaven’s eternal life
This world holds no peace for me
I must know my Heavenly Father
He is my peace, my way of salvation
I must desire Him
He is my true friend; I will make Him my own
I tried adding posting this with the mp3 but the file was too large )= I really wanted to share this song. If you want to listen to it though, give me a shout and I will send it to you!
blessings,
